My Little Sisters Wedding

Chapter 23 - The Wedding

Someone once told me that happiness is a choice and that I should go out and find my happiness. That person was my counsellor and that ended with me telling her to go and fuck herself. But, right at this very moment I was happy. It wasn't my choice to be this happy but it just happened. A large smile was etched on my face and I couldn't help but stare in awe at Caz and Daniel as they sealed their vows with a passionate kiss. Love was in the air, as tacky as it sounds, it was. Love was warm and kind. Love was everywhere and I revelled in the way it made me feel so much happiness. 

"Introducing Mr and Mrs Cooper." The priest stated.

Everyone started clapping and cheering, then One Love by Bob Marley started playing as Caz and Daniel started to walk down the isle. The exiting song choice has Daniel written all over it. I was too busy smiling and gwaping at Caz and Daniel to notice Jack had walked up to me and offered me his arm. He smiled at me and I put my arm through his and walked with him down the long isle. Through out the whole ceremony my eyes would casually wonder over to Jack and he would always snap me staring at him. It was so hard to concentrate on what the priest was saying as I was too busy trying not to stare directly at the sexy god that was only a few meters away from me. 

"How long do you think they'll last, 3 months?" Jack whispered quietly as we followed Caz and Daniel down the isle. I turned my head sharply with a serious angry face, only to see Jack smerking at me. He was teasing me.

"You are a dick." I said through clinched teeth as I tried to smile at everyone we passed.

"I love seeing you get mad. Its super sexy." He turned his head back to the front and carried on walking and smiling. Ugh! He was good looking, charming, funny but he was so...so blunt. I've never been around someone who just says what they think. I hated the way he made me feel when he would say shit like that. I felt my cheeks start to flame and I had to take a few deep breaths to calm myself.

Finally we made it to the exit and I found myself smile at Caz brightly as she turned around to face us. I went to go hug her but Jack's grip was tight and he was too busy talking to some guy. I pinched his arm to get his attention. 

"Ouch! What was that for?!" Jack asked as he turned to look at me confused.

"Oh, stop being a baby, it was merely a pinch. You're holding onto my arm and I want to go to congratulate my sister." I stated.

"That was not just a pinch. It was like this," He realeased my arm and reached forward and pinched my arm. "like that!" 

"Ow! Did you just pinch me?" I reached forward and continuously flicked him on the forehead.

"Ow! Stop that!" He tried to grab my hand but I was too fast.

"Cameron Alexandria Henderson! Stop flicking Jack!" Nana came up behind us and flicked my ear. "Thats no way to treat someone you want to sleep with!" I couldn't breath. The whole world stopped spinning. Oxygen had left my body and I couldn't really tell if I was breathing or not. I just stared at my Nana in shock. Did she just say what I think she said, out loud? Oh. My. Fuck! Jack just laughed. I took that as my chance to go and talk to Caz.

If things weren't awkward enough between Jack and I before my lovely Nana opened her inapproriate mouth, things between Jack and I got a whole lot worse. It wasn't really him who was making it awkward it was me. It was group photo time and I had to stand with him. I didn't know what to say to him and I couldn't trust my brain to say anything logical so I just listened to whatever the photographer told me to do and I did it. 

"Are you okay?" Jack whispered in my ear. I jumped in suprise and fell forward as my heels got stuck in the ground. 

"Cameron! Are you okay?" Caz said as she ran over to me in her dress. Jack lifted me up and helped me dust off the sand that had stuck to my dress. 

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just got a fright thats all." I said quickly as I tried to shoo Jack's hands away, that had come extremely close to my 'Lady Flower'. Caz smiled and turned back around and started talking to the rest of the group.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay?" Jack asked seriously.

I smiled tightly and looked up at him in the eye. "Yep I'm fine."

"Okay, Jack, can you please come in and stand close to Cameron." The photographer asked. This is just perfect. He stepped next to me and slipped his arm around my waist. OH MY GOD! She didn't tell him to do that! What is he thinking? He's making me nervous and sweaty. "Perfect! You guys look perfect together! Big smiles! Big smiles!"

"Cameron, just relax." Jack said next to me. I turned my head, and our eyes clashed. We stared at eachother for long moments and I thought to myself that his brown eyes were so pretty...he was pretty. Did this mean what I think it means? Do we like eachother? It always happens in movies, when a guy and girl stare at eachother for long periods of time it mean's they love eachother. We barely know eachother! Thats just rediculous, but he is pretty. 

After taking photo's for half an hour we all made our way back up to where the reception was being held. Daniels cousin Callum, waited behind and started walking with me as I lagged behind the rest of them to avoid walking with Jack. Jack was up front with Daniel laughing and joking. How was he not affectted by me? He was like a urinary tract infection that I couldn't shake. Okay that was a bad example. He was so intoxicating to be around and I wanted to be everywhere he was, but then again I didn't want to go anywhere near him.

"So, I see you have the hots for Dr. Thompson." Callum stated. I have known Callum ever since Caz and Daniel started dating. Like me, Callum always lived in the shadow of his siblings and the immense scrutiny of his father so we got along perfectly fine.

I paused for a long moment while staring at him. I know I can trust him. "Is it that obvious?" I whined.

"Yeah! You kept staring at him during the ceremony, so it was really obvious. But, like I'm not gay or anything, I think he is a really goodlooking bloke." Callum mummbled.

"Bit of a man crush going on over there, aye?" I teased.

"No. I'm just saying." He said while laughing. "Also, I wanted to talk to you about your cousin Emily. Is she single?" 

I stopped walking and looked at him. He was looking down at his feet as he carried on walking not realising I had stopped. After a few more steps he realised I had stopped and turned around.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked confused.

"Nothing, I just never pictured you liking Emily. She doesn't seem your type thats all. You guys are so, I dont know, YOLO and chill about everything. You've met her before, why now?" I asked while I walked to catch up with him.

"I don't know. She seems different this weekend."

"How?" I asked quickly.

"I don't know! She became sexier and more fiesty, mysterious like, over the weekend. She caught me staring at her ass and she turned around and slapped me! Me! I just stared at her in shock and then she said, 'Oh bite me! Next time I catch you staring at my ass I will rip out your scrotum and then shove it down your throat. Got it?' Plus, she looks hot today!" He smiled brightly to himself and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're so weird! Are you smiling to yourself?" I laughed.

"You're laughing at me? At least I wasn't blatantly staring at Jack through my sisters wedding!" 

"Oh no you didn't!" I said as I turned serious. He started laughing and began running away. It was one of those, 'Oh hell no! Hold my poodle.' moments as I chased him with my dress hiked and bunched in my hand. It was one of those moments where I was glad I had done my police training as I was able to catch up to him and jump on his back. Unfortunately for me he didnt fall to the ground and instead carried on running. So it ended up being a piggy back ride.

"Go horsey, GO!" I shouted as we ran past the bridal party. They all laughed and the photographer took photo's of Callum and I. 

We made it to the reception and Callum put me down. 

"Your Majesty." He bowed and I punched him in the arm. We both laughed and waited for everyone else to join us.
